This is not at all a bad thing to do. Just the opposite! Experimenting with different variations of the same piece can break up the practice and performance doldrums. This recording is unusually artistic, albeit an abstract of the original. I dare say, Chopin would approve. Beautiful.

I do this sort of thing all the time! This morning I played Chopin's Etude 10/7 about ten different ways; when I returned to the standard performance, it was as though my ears were hearing it in a fresh, new light.

Try this one; play the melody of the ballade in the left hand and accopm. in the right.

Well we all know Chopin was a great jazz lover, so I am sure he would not have minded

In fact this is a nice idiomatic jazzy thingy, using a theme that is well suited for it. You play it with a good touch and feeling, and I have no quibble with this (in fact I rather like this kind of 'jazz'). Well done. I can imagine this easing you down a bit after the strain of recording the real thing.
